I am empathetic to those who intended to vote for Murkowski, but who were too stupid to understand how to write her name.

But, if we are just going to blow off laws because they are inconvenient, or because we discover they might not work they way we want them to, why have laws? And if we are not going to have laws, why have lawmakers?

Pretty much means she is out on her ass anyway.

I think you have it perfectly backwards.

The possiblity of "a well regulated militia" depends on the RTKABA.

Or,
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There won't be a militia, well regulated or otherwise, without "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms," a right that "shall not be infringed."

BTW - what was your point anyway?
